Technology Courts Booking

The Supreme Court houses 6 Technology Courts of varying sizes for use in (a) the hearing of any matter in open Court or in Chambers; or (b) for any other dispute resolution process, that have specific technological needs. In this regard, parties have access to the latest audio-visual technology when utilising these courts. These technological tools facilitate the presentation of evidence in court and promote greater efficiency in the hearing process.

Video conferencing facilities are also available in the Technology Courts and these may be used to present the testimony of vulnerable witnesses or overseas witnesses who are unable to be physically present in court. Parties wishing to give evidence through a live video or live television link must seek the Court's leave to use the video conferencing facilities by way of a summons [see s 62A of the Evidence Act (Cap 97)] before making any request hereunder.
